EASY 1 pot chuck roast

A simple and delicious one-pot chuck roast recipe ideal for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chuck roast
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 8-10 garlic cloves
  • 3-4 generous pinches of salt
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 17 oz beef broth
  • 3 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 scallions or green onions
  • A large handful of fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 garlic clove
  • A couple of pinches of salt and pepper
  • About 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Add 3 lbs chuck roast to an oven-safe dish with a lid (or cover it with foil). Add 1 chopped yellow onion at the base along with 8-10 garlic cloves.
  3. Season both sides of beef with 3-4 generous pinches of salt, pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, and 1 tbsp oregano. Rub well on all sides.
  4. Pour in 17 oz of beef broth.
  5. Put the lid on your dish then place it in the oven at 350F for 4 hours. If your chuck is more than 3 lbs, aim for about an hour per pound plus 1 hour. So if it’s 2 lbs, go for 3 hours, etc.
  6. After 4 hours, remove from the oven, shred using two forks, mix well with the drippings, then put back in the oven at 450F for 20-30 minutes. Mix again when you remove from the oven.
  7. In a food processor, process 3 tbsp sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with 2 scallions or green onions, a large handful of fresh cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, 1 garlic clove, a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Process really well, then thin it out with about 1/4 cup water as you wish.
  8. Top the beef with the green onion sauce, some sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, and serve with tacos, quesadillas, power bowls, a healthy salad, over rice, or with low carb options.
